MCSE training kit for 70-215 - Practice Session problem!!
 

I'm quite new to W2K and am working thru the MS Training
book for exam 70-215. I have the evaluation version of
W2K Server installed as per the previous practice
sessions of the book and my hardware and specs all meet
the requirements for the sessions. I'm stuck on Chapter
3 page 114 during the file copy phase of the Setup
Manager Wizard where you create a distribution folder for
an unattended setup.

At the point where you tell it to copy the dist files
from the CD to your newly created Win2000dist folder, the
error "Setup Manager cannot determine free space
available on \\Server01\Win2000dist\. Error#1231. The
network location cannot be reached."

When I OK this message a further message appears "There
is not enough space available on the \\Server01
\Win2000dist drive to holdthe setup files. 312MB are
needed and 0MB are available."

I have double checked my initial setup of the evaluation
version of W2K Server as per the training book, and also
appear to have plenty of spare disk space available in C:
so I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. Can anyone
help me out please, any thoughts would be much
appreciated as I'm keen to get thru this book and take
the exam. 70-210 presented no problems when I worked
thru it but I am really a 'beginner' still so it may be
something simple or obvious! Many thanks.

Is the partition you are using NTFS? if not, run
convert c \fs:ntfs

you normally have to install ris on a different partition than the system
partition

You may want to resolve the first error message first. I have this book and
in reviewing the instructions my book path is c:\win2000dist, not the UNC
path \\server01\win2000dist -- perhaps this is your problem?

The local path is where the actual installation files are located but the UNC
path is where you run setup from on the client machine
